The following patch to src/backend/libpq/pqpacket.c provides additional
checking for bad packet length data. It was tested with the Linux telnet
client, with netcat using the numbers.txt and by dumping random numbers
into the port.
Patch by: Alvaro Martinez Echevarria <alvaro@lander.es>
The following patches add to the backend a new debugging flag -K which prints
a debug trace of all locking operations on user relations (those with oid
greater than 20000). The code is compiled only if LOCK_MGR_DEBUG is defined,
so the patch should be harmless if not explicitly enabled.
I'm using the code to trace deadlock conditions caused by application queries
using the command "$POSTMASTER -D $PGDATA -o '-d 1 -K 1'.
The patches are for version 6.0 dated 970126.

i gave jolly my btree bulkload code a long, long time ago but never
gave him a bunch of my bugfixes. here's a diff against the 6.0
baseline.
for some reason, this code has slowed down somewhat relative to the
insertion-build code on very small tables. don't know why -- it used
to be within about 10%. anyway, here are some (highly unscientific!)
timings on a dec 3000/300 for synthetic tables with 10k, 100k and
1000k tuples (basically, 1mb, 10mb and 100mb heaps). 'c' means
clustered (pre-sorted) inputs and 'u' means unclustered (randomly
ordered) inputs. the 10k table basically fits in the buffer pool, but
the 100k and 1000k tables don't. as you can see, insertion build is
fine if you've sorted your heaps on your index key or if your heap
fits in core, but is absolutely horrible on unordered data (yes,
that's 7.5 hours to index 100mb of data...) because of the zillions of
random i/os.
if it doesn't work for you for whatever reason, you can always turn it
back off by flipping the FastBuild flag in nbtree.c. i don't have
time to maintain it.
good luck!

|Subject: [PATCH] adding SYS_TIME just for fun.
|
|Hi,
|
|Whilst I was playing round with the European dates patch I noticed the sysfunc()
|that allows you to do :-
|
|create table test ( da date);
|insert into test values (SYS_DATE);
|
|and have the current system date inserted.
|
|So I thought it would be nice to have the SYS_TIME facility too.
|
|I've cloned the function and changed a few things and there you have it,
|you can now do:
|
|create table test2 ( ti time);
|insert into test2 values (SYS_TIME);
The first patch changes the behavior of aclcheck for groups. Currently an user
can access a table only if he has the required permission for ALL the groups
defined for that table. With my patch he can access a table if he has the
permission for ONE of the groups, which seems to me a more useful thing.
If you think this should be the correct behavior of the acl group check feel
free to remove the #ifdef, if not please add a commented line to config.h.
2. IndexScanableOperand now uses match_indexkey_operand
instead of equal_indexkey_var (if we have some index on attribute X
then we shouldn't use it for 'where some_func(X) OP CONST').
/usr/include/limits.h (which quiets the costsize.c warnings)...under
FreeBSD, /usr/include/limits.h *includes* machine/limits.h, while under
Solaris, there is no such things as /usr/include/machine...
Problem with Solaris pointed out by Mark Wahl
1. New flag - BM_JUST_DIRTIED - added for BufferDesc;
2. All data "dirtiers" (WriteBuffer and WriteNoReleaseBuffer)
set this flag (and BM_DIRTY too);
3. All data "flushers" (FlushBuffer, BufferSync and BufferReplace)
turn this flag off just before calling smgr[blind]write/smgrflush
and check this flag after flushing buffer: if it turned ON then
BM_DIRTY will stay ON.
